happy or the next best thing?
Some where along the road of my life I came to understand that I cannot change what has happened and seeking a best way often falls woefully short. I was always a kind of wide open person with few strategies for protecting my mind or for affecting the world to work well for me. Gradually I came to accept that this is the me that is and while what is the best things --- it is too late or never can be because of this or that, tragedy or circumstance,,, I can have the next best thing. It clicked in my brain and made happiness in this life achievable for me.
